Post op --Orgasm.

[FairyGirl]

Learn something new everyday!  Do post-op MTF's also have sexual sensitivity around the clitoris or just on the clitoris itself?

around it too- I'm very sensitive on my mound area just above and around it. That's one of the things Dr. McGinn mentions as well:

After your surgery you should be able to experience clitoral pleasure because the dorsal nerves of your penis have been preserved as a clitoris... Even if you experience some loss of clitoral bulk due to poor blood supply or scabbing, those nerve roots are still present. The area that corresponds to these roots is just below the mons pubis. By applying pressure to this area, you can stimulate the orgasm reflex that travels through your spinal chord to your brain. This may take several weeks to happen as the nerves heal and learn their new position.

I'm very sensitive to pressure in that area at 5 weeks post-op, really still a bit too sensitive. I notice now that she said it is the dorsal nerves that are preserved, which are only those that run along the upper side. I suppose those on the under side are lost, but she doesn't mention it. I reckon a man on top applying steady rhythmic pressure will be sufficient for stimulation lol

That's encouraging news.  I was under the impression that if the clitoris was lost that all sensation would be lost too.  I also reckon that being on top--my fave--would also provide sufficient stimulation

There's a lot actually in the handout she gives before surgery. I don't have a digital copy but it could maybe happen

Yes, that could be handy.  *raises hand* for her copy.   I met Dr McGinn a couple years ago.. maybe she would give it to me, despite not choosing her for my surgery, I really liked her, and I know her heart and practice is for the benefit of the community.   I'm so glad you are doing well Chloe!  *huggs*  ...

At 6 months, I am not orgasmic.  However, I have not been orgasmic since starting Spiro a few years ago.  I will find my way to that path, as it comes.  It is important to me, but I have such a full life, that this is ancillary, and when it does happen, is like the lil cherry topping to the heaped ice cream, piled on the icing on the luscious chocolate fudge cake!  

I have a lot of numbness, and I can feel much of it coming back online, but overall, still lots of tingling, and such.  Which is all positive.  It will come back, it does more and more each day, with a tinge here, a twitch there.   I'll be updating mysusan's blog with a 6-month'ish report, including my first penetrative sex.. *cough*, which happened just this last weekend.     No "O", as the thread title demands, but some other fun and interesting (?) details.....

Melan, i'm looking forward to your post in your blog about your first sexual experience.

I am 5 years post op and it took me a while to orgasm, or should I say "Learn" how to orgasm given the new equipment.  Even now it takes a while, but that's okay, it just makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable.

Good point, I also found it wasn't an issue with clitoris or vaginal sensitivity but finding the right way for me to acheive the best stimulation with my new anatomy.  With modern surgery techniques I think it would be very rare for someone to have no sensitivity at all.

[Colleen Ireland]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that a HUGE part of "The Big O" is what happens between the ears - the human brain is the biggest sex organ going.  Okay, I know, the "equipment" has to be working, but surely a LOT of it is what the MIND is doing.  I just HAVE to assume that whole aspect gets rather different post-op...

The dorsal nerve is actually the main nerve to the glans and for over all sensation, I believe any nerves on the bottom branch from the dorsal if my anatomy recollection is correct. So, this is the most important nerve bundle to preserve to ensure adequate sensation and orgasm.

FWIW, I'm orgasmic.  My first time was in the middle of the night as I stirred from sleep.  It was in the twilight of a waking state that I was relaxed enough to "think" it away.  Actually, I did think it away the first couple times.  It was an odd sensation that felt similar to having to pee.  Except, a natural reflex to the urge to pee is to bend at the waist and cross your legs, but that only intensified the sensation.  Every Time I bent or crossed my legs, the sensation grew... This was not a pee.  This felt really good.  I had my first orgasm that night, complete with wave after wave that seemed to permeate my entire body.  It wasn't extremely intense.  It was rather mild, in fact.  But it was comforting... like an old friend.  I laid there for what seemed like an hour with a smile on my face.  When I finally carried myself to the bathroom, I could feel the considerable moistness in my panties.  Not so much to be a problem, but enough to be noticed by a partner.  Since then, I've learned to control the intensity by how much I resist.  I hope that wasn't too graphic.

I was shocked.  I hadn't known what to expect.  I hadn't had the benefit of a post op friend to confide in me their O experience.  Since then, I can, nearly on demand, bring myself to orgasm with no other stimulus than my crossed legs... I guess we're all different.  It's kind of funny just how alike and different the big O is for us before and after srs.  I'm sure many of you are in for a pleasant surprise.

Ya, I miss those on the underside.  They were the best.  But I can still O, it's just different.

Eating at a very nice restaurant tonight, I almost had my first post-op orgasm - the food was that good.  I restrained myself a little so that I wouldn't embarass myself.  Next time though, I may just go for it, although it may be tough to give into the moaning in public. 

I dunno.  At my age food may be a more reliable source of pleasure than unattractive men.  Is it just me or are all men past a certain age soft or jerks or both?

Eating my way to bliss,
Kate

Among the cautionary notes about possible problems that the hospital gave me at my pre-op consult, it also mentions that in about 1% of cases, the clitoris becomes TOO sensitive and further treatment is necessary to try and adjust it. 
Usually something can be done to achieve a better level, but in a small proportion of that 1% in the end the only solution is to remove it or cut the nerves   

That's a chance I'm willing to take.

After a certain age, "soft" just kind of comes with the territory     jk

[Dinky_Di]

That's why I only go for guys between 25 and 35yro.  I'm 50 and 50yro guys just totally turn me off.
I'm a certified cougar.  RAWR!!!!!!!   

Lol....I'm 48 and feel the same.  Maybe it's because we don't feel our age..

[Cruelladeville]

Nope, and its useful as it helps lubricate your vagina....

Some men get very excited at the thought of women 'ejaculating'....weird maybe....but there you go...

[lilacwoman]

Indeed that was EXACTLY what happened to me. For 26 years my lover(s) have had to avoid touching it directly - but earlier this year I had a revision which included a second clitoroplasty - the old one was HUGE, over sensitive, and in slightly the wrong place..

The firs srs I saw on UK telly  was Miss Evans (she neevr had a first name?  ) and she did a very rough and ready job with a lot of unmasked observers around the poor sleeping patient and he technique for making the hole was just to ram her finger up to separate the muscles or whatever and then she stitched on what appeared to be the complete penis tip as a clitoris!  Sp maybe thats why older surgeries got bigger clitties and more painful ones?
This is the blurb that went with the programme:

Ever wanted to know how a sex change is done? Under the Knife with Miss Evans follows the work of Miss Christine Evans, Britain's best known no-nonsense genital and urological surgeon. The second episode in a six part series, tonight's film follows the operational journey of Mr Mike Barlow who is about to undergo the last stage of gender transition and become Miss Michelle Barlow. Watch as Michelle's redundant male private parts are sliced, skinned and turned inside out to form her new female genitalia, as Miss Evans tactfully explains 'It's just like skinning a rabbit!'. But will Michelle's operation be a success? And more importantly, what exactly happens when you cut off the penis? (

I gush clear fluids when I orgasm and lots of it especially when I have had a shot of progynon depot,
if i just take a progynova pill, i am less horny and ejaculate less, and its more sticky.

I can finally answer my own question. I was watching porn on my laptop and i started rubbin my tities lol. I started getting really wet down below. I kept doing it and it started feeling really good. it felt like something was coming in and then it stopped and i kept doing it and i felt this hotness and it felt like i had to pee so layed there and i said omg something is coming and i had an orgasm i felt down below and all this liquid was coming out of me LOL it was very brief but it felt AMAZING. I would say pre-op orgasms are good but this was better and intense but didn't last long though like pre-op does. it was clear liquid but mines was like bubbly clear liquid it was amazing lol it hurted the first time though when it happened unless thats just how woman orgasm i dunno lol.

[mmelny]

Yay Tinkerbell!

I get to follow you, and with a similar story.   I was watching a movie tonight, and something stirred inside me... more between the ears, but I felt warm.  I started playing.  Over the course of the next 90 minutes, I'll just say, several toys came out, and finally.... an "eeekkk" sprang from my lips.   All is right with the world, at least my world, tonight

I'm so relieved.  I was ready to face a life without "O" again.  I hadn't had one since about 2 months into HRT, OMG... Feb '08.   Life was ok without it...  but it's much better WITH it   

Sweet Dreaming,
Melan

[FairyGirl]

yay Melan! Yes we can tell by the smile in your new avatar haha 

I had my first the other day while dilating, totally unexpected. I guess the dilator just hit the right spot or something. But my knees were still trembling later when I was washing the dilators lol
